Learn from experience. As part of their study of Unbroken, scholars use a turn-and-talk strategy to discuss Louie's experiences and the presence of God while he is lost at sea. They then read quotes from the text and infer what the words reveal about Louie's character. After matching text evidence with character traits, readers choose the strongest example of evidence for each trait and finalize their thoughts by completing the Understanding Louie: Character Traits anchor chart.
